the 'hairy man' isn't that hard to fathom, just glimpse a bear standing on it's hind legs in the shadows of the woods. Hairy, tall, and bipedal, when you're spooked already at being deep in the woods, or even just alone in the woods in the middle of day, your brain is going to make that animal bigger and less detailed until you are certain you saw a big foot. There was a bear hanging around my parent's cabin that was close to 8 feet tall on it's hind legs, which we know because it knocked the birdfeeder off a roughly 7.5 foot tall post without leaving a mark on the post.
What about the Patterson film? Nobody had even come close to making a fake better and that was made in 1967. In 2020 we have way better costumes and technology to ale it but nobody has and that film is still the only one that can not be 100% debunked. 🤷♂️. I’ve spent a shitload of time in the PNW and I haven’t seen one and haven’t had a real encounter except one time I was fishing the sandy river canyon in the mt hood forest and had a 12” round boulder land right in the middle of the river in front of me. At the time I thought someone was up the hillside throwing it down but for them to have done that they would have had to bushwack a few miles to get to the spot where they could have thrown it as well as be able to throw a boulder that large out into the middle of the river and not many people if any are capable. I didn’t think about it being a Bigfoot till years later when I read people saying they throw rocks and then it made me wonder. Idk I don’t believe in them cause I haven’t seen them or enough proof but I’m also not saying they don’t exist either.
Maybe the gigantopithecus (biggest ape ever standing anywhere from 9 ft to 11 ft tall) is still alive, just in very small numbers which is why we havent found it.
Virgin Mouse also let me just add that even in a panicked situation I would be able to tell the difference between an ape walking up right or staying stable on two feet and swinging its arms. Than a bear that has small arms and legs that can’t go outwards? Multiple videos also can’t be bears soo?

It straight up looks like a normal dude just walking along in a gorilla suit.

I thought it was pretty good evidence of bigfoot too until I saw the stabilized version. As for the rock, maybe it fell from somewhere, or maybe an animal kicked it down. Or maybe a teen saw you while on his own trek and decided to mess with you. It's not that crazy to me.

I still watch your video on the ainu people several times a week because it's so good and interesting. Can you do more on human evolution and mysteries regarding this?
Im fairly new viewer. I just wanted to thank you for your cryptid videos. While i love cryptids and the paranormal as much as the next person. But i more apreciate the skeptic aproach. As opposed to most presenters' confirmation biased.
Morgan The Tactician look back on his videos they’re everywhere, in the Kennewick man video on the map diavolo is on the map where Italy is and there a lot of the people he draws (I think he draw them) are in jojo poses. I can’t remember the video but he had one in kakyoin’s pose and oddly enough the poses or the user of clash and talking heads, so he’s obviously into the series since they aren’t very well known characters.
You know, I think the only reason people believe in cryptids is because they want to believe that there is more to the world then the boring grind of working for most of the day and barely being able to pay there bills.
it depends what kind of cryptid it is, for example there's very much real proof that the Beast of Gevaudan did exist and that the events really happened, on the other hand you have Bigfoot where there's zero evidence it exists aside from sketchy videos/pictures and people saying they saw it
Hi Trey! I was wondering if you could make a video about the differences between the bipedal launch and the quadrupedal launch strategies in flying animals. It is a very interesting topic (also related to the debate that concerns giant pterosaurs, if they did or not fly with that sizes and masses) and it would be very nice if you could bring it some day to your channel. Thanks for your videos!
Any chance at a look at the Patterson footage? Its a popular piece to review, and I've seen opinions ranging from *immediate* dismissals as a hoax to in-depth anatomical and proportional analysis claiming the impossibility for a human to have such proportions. Would be interesting to see your take on it
@Duke of Haphazard Nope. It's been 50 years and no-one has outright disproved the footage. There is a reason why "Patty" is the face of Sasquatch investigation.
@@RodCalidge This is blatantly false. Patterson swore to it's authenticity to the day he died. Bob Gimlin (still alive) was recently offered (documented and perfectly legitimate) one million dollars to publicly confess it was a fake and he refused. He still insists it was real to this day.

You more or less found T-Rex or a Raptor because they are more related to birds but Brontosaurus and other types of dinos like sauropods and such are seperate to each other types of dinos like the meat eaters
@@bradwhite5884 Oh, well in that case, I own three (they're chickens, which if I remember correctly, is the closest living relative to the T-Rex). It was four, but one unfortunately turned out to be a rooster, and owning a rooster is illegal where I live, so we gave him to a farm that is owned by one of my dad's friends from his work. Not entirely sure why roosters are illegal, considering that I live in very close proximity to a hub of train tracks and a large factory lining a large portion of town. But still, we couldn't have the hens' eggs be fertilized anyway, because where I live, you can only have up to six chickens, and a part of the reason why we got them was for the eggs (which I won't eat). Aaaannnd I think I got a bit off-topic...
Back in 1997 I was in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it was around 0710 in the morning, I was fishing when I saw it near the shore of a small granite lake. I called over my friends and we were both extremely amazed, and we knew know one would beleive us. It was the largest Rainbow Trout we had even seen. It was about 32 inches long, and possibly 13-17 lbs.
thanks for the video, trey! it's always great to get one. i know you put a lot of pressure on yourself to get these out, but don't worry so much! i'm grateful for whatever you put out, whenever. that said, i miss hearing your enthusiastic descriptions of ancient life (the DUNK! lol). but i'll gladly learn about cryptids for now. thanks for all you do and have done. happy new year!
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed the video and appreciate the work that goes into them. I'll definitely try to do some more paleontology focused videos... unfortunately when I've written some of them, I find that I'm not as passionate as I used to be about them. anyways, I'm happy you enjoy my vids nonetheless :) Happy new year to you too!
So with peoples obsession that cryptids have to be real.... I feel like dismissing known animals as boring (wich a lot of peoples obsession with cryptids seem to imply) is.... a very pessemistic view, something being 'fantastical' or mysterious is cool and all but if they do exist they are just animals, meaning no different from any of the numerous interesting creatures that call our planet home. We have giant fish like mammals who can create fountains of water from a hole in their back (whales), long necked leopard skinned deers (a way to describe roughly what a giraffe looks like), hell even deers look really neat with their horns. We got lots of species who live in very fascinating ways, squids can camoflage, corvids have become as good at living in cities as we have pretty much, and numerous others someone more specialized in zoology could tell you about (i just find animals fascinating, dont actually study em) Even common things like dogs are pretty fascinating when you think about it, and most of all humans due to our ability to make use of tools and our intelligence (most of the time) When you really think about it a lot of cryptids arnt really any more weird or fascinating then a lot of known creatures, or even more strange. But because we cannot prove they exist they automaticly gain that mysterious factor and people want them to be real, even though I feel that would remove what makes them special in the first place. Just my ramblings though. I do think people would not care much if they were proven though.
Isn't that the same argument people use against people wanting to explore space? "Why go the moon when there's a bunch of cool stuff on earth? What's that gonna accomplish?" A lot, actually. Things such as stew bless glass and microwave tech were developed during the space program. I don't see the problem with wanting to discover new life. Say we DID find bigfoot. What could its kind tell us about primatologist or even anthropology?
Only a small minority of people in the field are obsessed with cryptids because they WANT them to be real, but many are because they KNOW. Some have seen one. Some just can't explain the evidence logically. But the fact is, some cryptids are real. Bigfoot, for example, is almost certainly a real, unknown species of ape. So why not give the obsessive people closure? Why condemn them for having differing opinions, or even just saying things you don't believe? Why not give witnesses relief from the ridicule they recieve even from their closest friends and family? Cryptids have changed people's lives, just because nobody else cares doesn't mean we shouldn't try to help fufill what they have chosen as their life's purpose, and potentially learn so, so much more about our world along the way?
I believe in crypids such as bigfoot and Loch Ness, it could be possible that these creatures exists even dinosaurs could of survived the mass extinction in a more handful of them in ways like how some small mammals survived after the mass extinction, just saying though
If I sounded rude to those who like cryptids then I apologize.... I probably worded it weird but I do not mean it isnt worth studying.... I do think you SHOULD look for other explanations first though before assuming it is a new species, especially when there are other more likely explanations or the cryptid in question being real doesnt align with the evidence. If we DID find bigfoot that would be a fascinating discovery, I just dont think it would align exactly with the popular idea of bigfoot, say a large species of ape living there is certainly not impossible, but the evidence there is is either hard to prove the authenticity of or is proven frauds. Wich suggests that bigfoot doesnt exist altough does not prove that it doesnt. The loch ness monster I certainly can NOT accept as legit though.... for reasons mostly brought up in this channels cryptid profile three parter of the Loch Ness monster. And the claim that people KNOW cryptids exist..... how? It is very easy to missremember, see something wrong, etc. I do NOT think that means the person in question should be ridiculed though and if I sounded like that then I do apologize, I just think seeing something that isnt there is something any person can and will and has done, myself included. Mothman is an excellent example, I do not doubt many who spotted it saw something, I do however doubt they saw "mothman" rather then "an owl" considering its general description matches an owl incredibly close. We can NOT *know* that any cryptid exist until we have hard physical evidence such as DNA, that doesnt mean they are not true, just that we cant say they are true or that we know they are because seeing something wrong is common. Especially in areas with stories like these it is easy to attribute seeing any creature even vaguely similar as that thing. Researching cryptids is a good idea I think, but if we assume they are real while searching we may overlook evidence. And either way my point to begin with was never that your an idiot if you believe in cryptids, my point was that I do not think most people who believe in cryptids would care much if they had been discovered species allready. Their charm lies in being mysterious, wich is not a bad thing and trying to find them could lead to other interesting discoveries or in rare cases even the discovery of them, so not a bad thing in and of itself I just believe it is bad to have the assumption that they exist without solid evidence, and eye witness acounts is NOT good evidence. I apologize if I seemed rude or dismissive but I hope this answer was better and hope it was not too repetedive.
@@grandiflora8479 When I was 13 I remember drawing the Loch Ness monster, and I knewn "it isn't real, if it was we would've found it already". I know, there's that species of fish that is ancient and we thought it was extinct and we found it! welp, have you seen any bigfoot skeletons? no? I mean, many just want to prove that they are real cause their egos are too big to say that they were wrong... so they'll never grow and waste some time of their lives, fine with me, if I get more money at my job, as there's a need of workers caused by those who waste their life. So it's all fine. Let them lose it, and if it's a family member who is doing it, don't try to prove them wrong, they'll think it;s a personal attack on them, try to make them think that they are the ones thinking that they are wrong and "maybe I'm wrong, maybe I shouldn't waste my time here." So yeah, good fecking luck at life?
I tend to find it interesting that there do seem to be behaviors shared by the hairy man archetype like throwing rocks and knocking to try and scare off people. I think people who really dive into this stuff and regularly go off in the woods to look around are seeing /something/ When you have professional rangers talking about these strnge things it's really interesting. Like they hear a scream they aren't gping to be confusing it for a fox or panther yelling. As far as any "conspiracy" I think the only conspiracy that could exist is if certain higher ups just don't want their sections to be seen as a laughing stocks or don't want a huge influx of people going into the woods getting lost looking for stuff that may not be there.
nukirisame if he does I hope he doesn't Cpoy paste Darren Naish's analysis That man took all the data professionals have gained from the film threw it out the window ajd just said "It was Bob Hieronimous" even though Hieronimous' account has been thoroughly debunked
known Animals. yes partially. he never mentioned the DNA test from when big foot allegiantly stepped some nails DNA points to human hypride . or the Full sadsqash body impression. and hair did turn out by professionals as primate
I once found the theory that big foot is just some fursuiter that was doing his thing in the woods and someone saw him. And now he is just too embarrassed to come out and say he is big foot.
Great channel with a lot of cool 'mini-series' (supposed to be plural) going on at the moment. I would love to one day see thoughts and a possible verdict on the hypothesized [and heavily debated] Younger Dryas impact event, which is said to have occurred around 12,900 years ago. Always looking forward to see what you will discuss next.
Also, I had heard of a Bigfoot hair sample being tested as a human, like the Texas sample referenced in your video. It makes sense, because after all, a person living in the wild, never shaving or bathing might look like a hairy ape. It would also explain one of the common characteristics of Bigfoot sightings: a pungent smell.
For some reason I don’t get notifications for you,I love every video that you’ve ever made man gets me mad to find out how you’ve posted a video three weeks ago and I had no idea
Jolly USSR Venom Snake Since I have Discord myself and have joined plenty of servers I can tell you, make it a Unoffical Trey Fan club/server/whatever and then if he agrees and joins himself it could be called Official then.
I want to add that, the hairy human myth might be so popular worldwide because there actually exist very humanoid hairy primates. It's funny to imagine that to early european explorers, seeing an orangutan or a gorila for the first time, would be equivalent to a modern human seeing big foot. It is almost the same experience, It is hard to imagine the shock they could have experienced. And it would be reasonable that the stories spread of misterious hairy men in the distance living in the wild.
Hey Trey I just wanted to say I’m a big fan of this series and I was wondering what you would think about critiquing “monster hunting” shows in the future, one part reaction video another part review of the episode or series for how scientific it was. I think it would be great hearing someone with a scientific mindset to do that, and I’m sure you must’ve seen a couple shows like that to be interested in making videos on cryptids at least. Some of my favorite shows related to this growing up was “Monster Quest” and “Destination Truth”, but I’m sure you’d absolutely love tearing a more recent show “Mountain Monsters” a new one for how they’ve dramatized, faked evidence, and damaged the credibility of the few cryptozoologists that actually do give a damn about the conservation and cataloging of animals not yet known to science.
That supposed yeti skull I saw in a documentary that was reportedly stolen had many hair cuts in its lifetime when it was inspected. It was most likely a domesticated animal around 500 years ago. A wolf, monkey or a bear
To be fair, a bear standing on its back legs with its front legs out to fight kinda sorta a little bit looks like a Bigfoot, so I can see how stories like these could’ve originated (at least in areas where the bears are native). Also, I totally understand and support the whole “wanna make a devil? it’s us but with hair” that many primitive societies prolly did
Mo fo I know the channel ParaBreakdown did a video debunking them a few years ago, and when I looked up the video again just now I saw that Trey left a comment, so I guess if you want to know his thoughts look up that video
@@mcalero8432 I just checked out that video and wow... I do feel dumb now. The videos that I saw always left things "inconclusive" so I thought it was hard to debunk. But still, I'd love to see an a anatomic analysis of the pijama boiz, especially since they do look rather alien
I have watched some Russian TV series, I don't remember the exact name it had and not sure if there are any translated versions of it but they got access to that scalp thing and while someone distracted the people guarding it they were able to get some material which later turned out to be bear just like you said.
Awesome video I have a request for you as a long time sub I usually never comment but I recently got into the after man book series by Dougal Dixon and I was wondering if you could make a video on something like that specifically something like the new dinosaurs that talks about how dinosaurs would evolve if the meteor hadn’t hit anyways I thought that’s would be a good video idea but have a good day and keep making videos the only complaint I have is that you don’t have more videos haha anyway keep it up man love your channel
Well, they did not find reptile DNA, sorry... About 25% was nonidentified DNA in the Loch Ness though, so maybe there is something surprising there. No sturgeon, shark, or catfish DNA either in the Loch. However, lots and lots of eel DNA. Nessie might be a giant eel after all... TBH, I always thought lake monsters were large eels ever since hearing about such animals in Lake Victoria in Africa, which also happened to have a legend of a lake monster. I also consider the possibility of old sightings of lake monsters being related to another cryptozoology species - the long-necked seals (did they really exist and are now extinct? IDK) as the connection of some of these lakes to the sea would allow for some sea creatures to visit the lakes occasionally... Seals would explain why some people describe seeing a large body and flippers as opposed to the snake-like body of an eel.

I still watch your video on the ainu people several times a week because it's so good and interesting. Can you do more on human evolution and mysteries regarding this?
Im fairly new viewer. I just wanted to thank you for your cryptid videos. While i love cryptids and the paranormal as much as the next person. But i more apreciate the skeptic aproach. As opposed to most presenters' confirmation biased.
This wholesome comment gets two thumbs up 👍👍
I’m gradually noticing all the jojo references in you videos
are you serious
God, you're everywhere...
Morgan The Tactician look back on his videos they’re everywhere, in the Kennewick man video on the map diavolo is on the map where Italy is and there a lot of the people he draws (I think he draw them) are in jojo poses. I can’t remember the video but he had one in kakyoin’s pose and oddly enough the poses or the user of clash and talking heads, so he’s obviously into the series since they aren’t very well known characters.

Yes, very saucy indeed.
You know, I think the only reason people believe in cryptids is because they want to believe that there is more to the world then the boring grind of working for most of the day and barely being able to pay there bills.
Some of them act like you just burnt down their house when you say Bigfoot doesn't exist.
Says the guy who actively suppresses these discoveries
I've been saying this for years, ghosts, religion and the like
dr bright you addtemps to cover up scp 1000 will fail, the truth is out there. x files theme intensifies
it depends what kind of cryptid it is, for example there's very much real proof that the Beast of Gevaudan did exist and that the events really happened, on the other hand you have Bigfoot where there's zero evidence it exists aside from sketchy videos/pictures and people saying they saw it
Imagine being some normal dude, then you die and people use your hand to "prove" the existence of Bigfoot
Hi Trey! I was wondering if you could make a video about the differences between the bipedal launch and the quadrupedal launch strategies in flying animals. It is a very interesting topic (also related to the debate that concerns giant pterosaurs, if they did or not fly with that sizes and masses) and it would be very nice if you could bring it some day to your channel. Thanks for your videos!
You forgot the most illusive cryptid, Half Life 3
Edit: Why is this the second most liked comment? It wasnt even that clever.
Dr Bright it doesn’t exist stop dreaming you crazy conspiracy theorist.
Bro
Im still waiting for the damn footage but every time I ask for footage they reply, "Half Life what?" as if they didn't know what 3 means
It's dead, Jim. Sorry, but it's dead. There was a plot at some point, but it's super dead.
Tsk, tsk, conspiracy theorists and their dreams...
Any chance at a look at the Patterson footage? Its a popular piece to review, and I've seen opinions ranging from *immediate* dismissals as a hoax to in-depth anatomical and proportional analysis claiming the impossibility for a human to have such proportions.
Would be interesting to see your take on it
@Duke of Haphazard Nope. It's been 50 years and no-one has outright disproved the footage. There is a reason why "Patty" is the face of Sasquatch investigation.

You more or less found T-Rex or a Raptor because they are more related to birds but Brontosaurus and other types of dinos like sauropods and such are seperate to each other types of dinos like the meat eaters
Hate it when that happens
I saw one as well the best shooms I have evey had
@@bradwhite5884 Oh, well in that case, I own three (they're chickens, which if I remember correctly, is the closest living relative to the T-Rex). It was four, but one unfortunately turned out to be a rooster, and owning a rooster is illegal where I live, so we gave him to a farm that is owned by one of my dad's friends from his work. Not entirely sure why roosters are illegal, considering that I live in very close proximity to a hub of train tracks and a large factory lining a large portion of town. But still, we couldn't have the hens' eggs be fertilized anyway, because where I live, you can only have up to six chickens, and a part of the reason why we got them was for the eggs (which I won't eat). Aaaannnd I think I got a bit off-topic...
Back in 1997 I was in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, it was around 0710 in the morning, I was fishing when I saw it near the shore of a small granite lake. I called over my friends and we were both extremely amazed, and we knew know one would beleive us.
It was the largest Rainbow Trout we had even seen. It was about 32 inches long, and possibly 13-17 lbs.
How big were it's feet though
A whole year without paleontology videos? WHAT A MADLAD UNDERSTANDABLE HAVE A NICE DAY
thanks for the video, trey! it's always great to get one. i know you put a lot of pressure on yourself to get these out, but don't worry so much! i'm grateful for whatever you put out, whenever. that said, i miss hearing your enthusiastic descriptions of ancient life (the DUNK! lol). but i'll gladly learn about cryptids for now. thanks for all you do and have done. happy new year!
Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoyed the video and appreciate the work that goes into them. I'll definitely try to do some more paleontology focused videos... unfortunately when I've written some of them, I find that I'm not as passionate as I used to be about them.
anyways, I'm happy you enjoy my vids nonetheless :) Happy new year to you too!
So with peoples obsession that cryptids have to be real....
I feel like dismissing known animals as boring (wich a lot of peoples obsession with cryptids seem to imply) is.... a very pessemistic view, something being 'fantastical' or mysterious is cool and all but if they do exist they are just animals, meaning no different from any of the numerous interesting creatures that call our planet home.
We have giant fish like mammals who can create fountains of water from a hole in their back (whales), long necked leopard skinned deers (a way to describe roughly what a giraffe looks like), hell even deers look really neat with their horns.
We got lots of species who live in very fascinating ways, squids can camoflage, corvids have become as good at living in cities as we have pretty much, and numerous others someone more specialized in zoology could tell you about (i just find animals fascinating, dont actually study em)
Even common things like dogs are pretty fascinating when you think about it, and most of all humans due to our ability to make use of tools and our intelligence (most of the time)
When you really think about it a lot of cryptids arnt really any more weird or fascinating then a lot of known creatures, or even more strange.
But because we cannot prove they exist they automaticly gain that mysterious factor and people want them to be real, even though I feel that would remove what makes them special in the first place.
Just my ramblings though. I do think people would not care much if they were proven though.
Isn't that the same argument people use against people wanting to explore space? "Why go the moon when there's a bunch of cool stuff on earth? What's that gonna accomplish?" A lot, actually. Things such as stew bless glass and microwave tech were developed during the space program.
I don't see the problem with wanting to discover new life. Say we DID find bigfoot. What could its kind tell us about primatologist or even anthropology?
Only a small minority of people in the field are obsessed with cryptids because they WANT them to be real, but many are because they KNOW. Some have seen one. Some just can't explain the evidence logically. But the fact is, some cryptids are real. Bigfoot, for example, is almost certainly a real, unknown species of ape. So why not give the obsessive people closure? Why condemn them for having differing opinions, or even just saying things you don't believe? Why not give witnesses relief from the ridicule they recieve even from their closest friends and family? Cryptids have changed people's lives, just because nobody else cares doesn't mean we shouldn't try to help fufill what they have chosen as their life's purpose, and potentially learn so, so much more about our world along the way?
I believe in crypids such as bigfoot and Loch Ness, it could be possible that these creatures exists even dinosaurs could of survived the mass extinction in a more handful of them in ways like how some small mammals survived after the mass extinction, just saying though
If I sounded rude to those who like cryptids then I apologize....
I probably worded it weird but I do not mean it isnt worth studying.... I do think you SHOULD look for other explanations first though before assuming it is a new species, especially when there are other more likely explanations or the cryptid in question being real doesnt align with the evidence. If we DID find bigfoot that would be a fascinating discovery, I just dont think it would align exactly with the popular idea of bigfoot, say a large species of ape living there is certainly not impossible, but the evidence there is is either hard to prove the authenticity of or is proven frauds. Wich suggests that bigfoot doesnt exist altough does not prove that it doesnt.
The loch ness monster I certainly can NOT accept as legit though.... for reasons mostly brought up in this channels cryptid profile three parter of the Loch Ness monster.
And the claim that people KNOW cryptids exist..... how? It is very easy to missremember, see something wrong, etc. I do NOT think that means the person in question should be ridiculed though and if I sounded like that then I do apologize, I just think seeing something that isnt there is something any person can and will and has done, myself included.
Mothman is an excellent example, I do not doubt many who spotted it saw something, I do however doubt they saw "mothman" rather then "an owl" considering its general description matches an owl incredibly close.
We can NOT *know* that any cryptid exist until we have hard physical evidence such as DNA, that doesnt mean they are not true, just that we cant say they are true or that we know they are because seeing something wrong is common. Especially in areas with stories like these it is easy to attribute seeing any creature even vaguely similar as that thing.
Researching cryptids is a good idea I think, but if we assume they are real while searching we may overlook evidence.
And either way my point to begin with was never that your an idiot if you believe in cryptids, my point was that I do not think most people who believe in cryptids would care much if they had been discovered species allready. Their charm lies in being mysterious, wich is not a bad thing and trying to find them could lead to other interesting discoveries or in rare cases even the discovery of them, so not a bad thing in and of itself I just believe it is bad to have the assumption that they exist without solid evidence, and eye witness acounts is NOT good evidence.
I apologize if I seemed rude or dismissive but I hope this answer was better and hope it was not too repetedive.
@@grandiflora8479 When I was 13 I remember drawing the Loch Ness monster, and I knewn "it isn't real, if it was we would've found it already". I know, there's that species of fish that is ancient and we thought it was extinct and we found it! welp, have you seen any bigfoot skeletons? no? I mean, many just want to prove that they are real cause their egos are too big to say that they were wrong... so they'll never grow and waste some time of their lives, fine with me, if I get more money at my job, as there's a need of workers caused by those who waste their life. So it's all fine. Let them lose it, and if it's a family member who is doing it, don't try to prove them wrong, they'll think it;s a personal attack on them, try to make them think that they are the ones thinking that they are wrong and "maybe I'm wrong, maybe I shouldn't waste my time here." So yeah, good fecking luck at life?
Imma bet that we will find trace DNA of owls,basking shark and E.L.Wallace in the Loch Ness

Thank you so much :D
I'm happy you appreciate and enjoy my videos so much! Hope you have a merry christmas as well!
I tend to find it interesting that there do seem to be behaviors shared by the hairy man archetype like throwing rocks and knocking to try and scare off people. I think people who really dive into this stuff and regularly go off in the woods to look around are seeing /something/
When you have professional rangers talking about these strnge things it's really interesting. Like they hear a scream they aren't gping to be confusing it for a fox or panther yelling.
As far as any "conspiracy" I think the only conspiracy that could exist is if certain higher ups just don't want their sections to be seen as a laughing stocks or don't want a huge influx of people going into the woods getting lost looking for stuff that may not be there.
Very cool intro! Thought the vhs tape said "Dinosaur Jr." for a second but (and that's a great band btw) I'm glad I clicked on the right video lol.

Also, I had heard of a Bigfoot hair sample being tested as a human, like the Texas sample referenced in your video. It makes sense, because after all, a person living in the wild, never shaving or bathing might look like a hairy ape. It would also explain one of the common characteristics of Bigfoot sightings: a pungent smell.

Please_Wear_Condoms Hi Mr. bear
I want to add that, the hairy human myth might be so popular worldwide because there actually exist very humanoid hairy primates. It's funny to imagine that to early european explorers, seeing an orangutan or a gorila for the first time, would be equivalent to a modern human seeing big foot. It is almost the same experience, It is hard to imagine the shock they could have experienced. And it would be reasonable that the stories spread of misterious hairy men in the distance living in the wild.

Is that a Dakotaraptor? I want one sooo bad!
Hey Trey I just wanted to say I’m a big fan of this series and I was wondering what you would think about critiquing “monster hunting” shows in the future, one part reaction video another part review of the episode or series for how scientific it was. I think it would be great hearing someone with a scientific mindset to do that, and I’m sure you must’ve seen a couple shows like that to be interested in making videos on cryptids at least.
Some of my favorite shows related to this growing up was “Monster Quest” and “Destination Truth”, but I’m sure you’d absolutely love tearing a more recent show “Mountain Monsters” a new one for how they’ve dramatized, faked evidence, and damaged the credibility of the few cryptozoologists that actually do give a damn about the conservation and cataloging of animals not yet known to science.
Damn some hunters scare me. "I don't know what that is but it has meat on it so better kill it and keep it's parts for a trophy!"
Remember this, if there are humans in that area, there are cryptids as well
That supposed yeti skull I saw in a documentary that was reportedly stolen had many hair cuts in its lifetime when it was inspected. It was most likely a domesticated animal around 500 years ago. A wolf, monkey or a bear

To be fair, a bear standing on its back legs with its front legs out to fight kinda sorta a little bit looks like a Bigfoot, so I can see how stories like these could’ve originated (at least in areas where the bears are native).
Also, I totally understand and support the whole “wanna make a devil? it’s us but with hair” that many primitive societies prolly did

Well, they did not find reptile DNA, sorry... About 25% was nonidentified DNA in the Loch Ness though, so maybe there is something surprising there. No sturgeon, shark, or catfish DNA either in the Loch. However, lots and lots of eel DNA. Nessie might be a giant eel after all... TBH, I always thought lake monsters were large eels ever since hearing about such animals in Lake Victoria in Africa, which also happened to have a legend of a lake monster. I also consider the possibility of old sightings of lake monsters being related to another cryptozoology species - the long-necked seals (did they really exist and are now extinct? IDK) as the connection of some of these lakes to the sea would allow for some sea creatures to visit the lakes occasionally... Seals would explain why some people describe seeing a large body and flippers as opposed to the snake-like body of an eel.
